    it will be an embarrassment of the highest order if they go through this whole thing, go through months of investigating…go through these televised hearings…and then not go after Trump and his little henchmen

    people are tired of there being talk and no action…piss or get off the pot

    and if MAGA mindless drones want to throw their little tantrum and resort to violence, round them up too and toss their asses in jail…would only make it easier to clean up the country

    tired of all the soft rhetoric

    No, this isn't Trump's country at all.
    Trump has no allegiance to this country. He'd sell his soul to the Devil if he thought it would give him more power or money. He could care less about anyone else.

    Only his corrupt associates and his gullible followers that believe he is something he isn't. The others just vote for a Republican, no matter what. I'd like to think there is a majority who don't want loose gun laws, and a step back in time where the rights of women, minorities, and the LGBQT communities are being dictated by a bunch of NRA blood money politicians, religious extremists, voting suppressing election stealer traitors, QAnon conspiracists, and white supremacy types that the party is full of.

    I'm not saying there aren't millions of die hard party Republicans, but I think Trump is losing his grip, and hopefully his life as a free man. I want to see him locked up for his coup attempt like millions of others do.

    If you are missing the 1/6 hearing today you are missing a freaking damning account of Trump on 1/6.

    To put it short, so far it is confirmed that Trump was warned of the mob having weapons, and he took measures to REMOVE security measures (via "mags") because he knew the mob that was armed was going to the Capital. Basically he DID NOT want the rioters to have weapons removed.

    It also was clarified that Rudy G. knew of the Proud Boy's involvement, and Meadows knew of the violence that was planned.

    Not only that, Trump said the armed rioters would be allowed to go to the capitol.

    He had knowledge, approved it, and at the speech told them all to go.

    To answer a question frequently brought up by those downplaying what happened that day, it sounds like there weren't more firearms on the Capitol is because the Secret Service was screening and disarming people who went to the rally.

    So Trump knew the rioters had weapons and were armed ahead of the speech, but still urged the crowd to go to the capitol.

    Trump tried to grab the wheel from the driver and lunged at another person in the car. What a little temper-tantrum violent infant he is.

    And it's clear Trump ordered that the Secret Service NOT screen and disarm people. For which is sounds like the Secret Service ignoring him, and refusing him. So why isn't the Secret Service a huge part of this investigation?

    They have taken evidence from them. But haven't put haven't put it out or made them a part of the hearings. I'm not sure why.

    My guess is that they are just trying to streamline things as much as possible. Once it all gets in the hands of DOJ, hopefully more will be made known.

    "This is just second hand testimony!"

    Well, Trump and Meadows could both go set the record straight by just testifying under oath! If they did nothing wrong they have nothing to hide right?

    Disheartening evidence about Trump's people trying to influence witnesses.

    Another reason why they need to clean house and hold the higher-ups accountable.

    I had obviously low expectations of a pathetic figure Trump but -wow.

    That mother****er does not disappoint in the depths of his corruption and pure, dumb thuggish evil.

    **** that guy and anyone who ever voted for him.

    Without a doubt now, Trump tried to get his flunkies to overthrow an election he knew he lost.

    And he tried to do it both behind the scenes with the help of Republican officials and politicians, and violently and publicly with his MAGA cult members trying to find people to murder on Jan 6.


    If you don't care about that, or try to downplay it, I don't want to ever hear that you care about 'America' or the country again. All the flag waving and posturing and pandering doesn't meant ****, because it's obvious you don't really care about the ideals that are supposed to be the foundation of the United States.
